A Partnership That Works For Those In Need |
Don Hawkins started working with Joyce & Charlie Yant and formed Hands of Hope Ministries in 2000, who was serving the Homeless every Saturday morning in downtown Indy. In 2002 he started working as a volunteer with Indiana's Prisons, Work Release Centers, Community Corrections Corp., GEO, Liberty Hall, Jails, Inmates, and ex-offenders. He was also on several DOC Community Advisory Boards. He participated in numerous prison ministries, clothes drives, electronics drives, mentoring, etc. He then founder Homeless & ReEntry Helpers (HRH) in 2004 and incorporated it in 2008. He founded Helpers Helping Others Outreach Team (HHOOT) in 2011 and has been serving/helping Indy's Homeless, ExOffenders & Veterans since then.
In 2011 HRH-HHOOT partnered with the Mayors' Advisory Council for Veterans (MACV) to help with the Mayor's first "Veterans Appreciation Day" event at the American Legion Mall. In 2014 Veterans Support Council, Inc. (VSC) was incorporated. HRH was VSC's second Partner (MACV was the first). Since then, HRH-HHOOT & VSC have shared and maintained offices and warehouse space to help those in need, including Indy's Veterans, Military, and their families. HHOOT's Distribution Center (HDC) was incorporated on the 11th of September 2019.
Below are pictures of our warehouse and just some of the many partners, donors, helpers, volunteers, and ministries that help HRH & VSC serve those in immediate need through HHOOT's Distribution Center (HDC).
